In this new feature the ITI Blog takes a 360° look at the personal and professional lives of individual researchers who have received ITI funding. In this issue, we interview Dr. Karol Apaza. Originally from Peru, she is currently a doctoral researcher at the University Clinic of Dentistry, Medical University Vienna.
The socket shield technique aims to maintain the bundle bone at its level on the buccal side by performing a partial root extraction. Following the same biological principle, the concept of partial extraction treatments (PET) was recently introduced with the SS technique being the most popular form of PET.

Abstract More and more patients are starting to demand solutions that do not involve the “gray” color of titanium in their treatment planning. White color, biocompatibility and low plaque affinity make zirconia dental implants the implant of choice for desirable esthetic outcomes. From the biological point of view, zirconia implants also
Around 4 months after implant placement, second-stage surgery is usually performed. The crestal soft tissue area is de-epithelialized, followed by a u-shaped incision. The cover screw is changed to a healing abutment folding this small flap towards the buccal side, allowing for slight augmentation of the buccal contour. In the case of the seldom occurrence of bone on top of the implant, this can be safely and easily removed using curettes, ultrasonic scalers, or specially designed trephine burs manufactured by the respective implant manufacturer.
